incorporated. “Takes the
basic principles of Apple
TV to a new level.”
5. Page Rank: As it currently occurs with Google Search,
companies will compete with one another to appear at
the top of the search listings on Google TV. Perhaps
this will lead to the success of Google TV just as it did
with Google itself.
Co-produced by the best web and cable TV companies:
high expectations
Copyright restrictions: networks will want to block
content access from Google TV.
6. Cost: Google TV was launched into the market at a price of
$299, limiting the pool of customers willing to trade their
traditional TV for this expensive gadget.
Technology: complex and abundance of navigation
features make Google TV less appealing to conservative
consumers but more attractive to the young age group
Potential Users: Google TV is mainly advertised as a
household item; it has no primary intention to impact
business companies and CEOs.
7. Despite its success or failure, Google TV has come to
revolutionize new media.
The distinction among traditional, digital and social media has
faded way with Google TV incorporating all of them.
It joins into one device the TV, radio, film, photography,
electronic and print sources.
